Moving in Royal Oak
Royal Oak is one of Oakland County’s most active and densely populated cities, with a lively downtown core and a mix of historic craftsman bungalows, colonial revivals, and newer infill construction throughout its residential neighborhoods. The city attracts a younger demographic with high turnover in its rental market, which means a steady volume of apartment and small home moves year round. Street parking in Royal Oak’s residential neighborhoods can be tight, particularly on tree-lined blocks near downtown where driveways are short and streets are narrow.
Royal Oak also has a number of multi-unit buildings and loft conversions near the downtown corridor along Main Street and Washington Avenue. Upper floor units in these buildings frequently lack elevators and require stair carries for all items. Let us know your floor and building access situation when you call so we can plan accordingly and give you an accurate time estimate.
Common Questions
How far in advance should I book?
Two weeks is ideal. We do take last minute jobs when we have availability. Call us and we’ll tell you what we have open.
I am moving out of a Royal Oak bungalow with original woodwork and narrow doorways. Can you handle large furniture?
Yes. Historic bungalows in Royal Oak are some of the trickier moves we handle. We disassemble furniture when needed and remove doors from hinges if necessary. No extra charge for standard disassembly.
I am in a loft apartment near downtown Royal Oak with no elevator. How does that affect the price?
Stairs add time. Each flight typically adds 30 to 60 minutes depending on the volume of items. Tell us your floor when you call and we will build it into your estimate.
Do you move pianos?
Yes. Send us photos of the entrances at both locations before booking so we can confirm access.
What payment do you accept?
Cash or credit/debit card (Visa, MC, Discover, Amex). Payment is due at the end of the job. We do not accept checks.
